This is the best introduction to the parallel histories of garden design and landscape architecture.

What an excellent work! Deeply insightful and intuitive, the text is a very worthwhile read. Not only about landscape art/gardens either. It goes much broader in scope, that I would classify this book as dealing with the human condition on this planet throughout the ages.

Recommended by Tom Turner - author of 'Garden History: Philosophy and Design 2000 BC - 2000 AD' - as one of forty books which - he suggests - every landscape student should have seen. Thanks to the Landscape Information Hub UK. http://www.lih.gre.ac.uk/histhe/books...

Good book for exactly what it says - The Landscape of Man (people). Short on native american land use, more thorough on Greek, Roman, Chinese, Japanese landscape design. A great beginners/intermediate book.
